They are going to exercise their sovereign lights as American citizens and cast tehirballots. There w'ill be one name on the ballot which will r?22, "J"f Rowerman." Just a plain same of a plain man. He does not part It in . the middle; he does not have a handle to It. The owner of that same Is a boy who is climinb up the ladder by his own efforts. He proba bly, never wore a suit of clothes that cost more than $20 and there have been many days he has gone to work "without shining his shoes. He began life determined to make good. First he could have been seen In- the harvest field. Big and brawny, full of energy, he pitched his share of grain and !n threshing time did fluty on the straw stack. Then he started his study to become an attor ney. He did not have an annunl al lowance from a rich father, neither f .did he have any kind of a snap to ob- tain his 'education. If you care to' trace his history you will find he! worked his way through school, and1 In many instances the work he did would not appeal to a man who loves to wear k'ld gloves. lie .graduated, rather green and un gainly but honest and square.

The books show only a small per cent. In Lnion county who have gone through that formality which Is com pulsory under the direct primary law in order to be able to vote at the pri mary nominating election. Why don't they register? It is the same old story: Why did ikil tin i m i Mi... mass meeting that selected candi dates? They did not, at least they did not attend ln numbers and as a result a few men fixed things accord ing to their own liking, and then there was a wall about bosslsm and machine. There would have been no bosses and no machine if every voter had done his duty and attended the mass meeting, which was the very foundation of government. Well, they did not attend anyway, and as time went on there were a number of 'purists' pushed themselves to the front, waiving the white ban ner upon which bronze letters were Inscribed, "Down with the bosses." it was popular ana the bosses wore downed, machines were broken and the country went wild over reform. Then came the direct primary with its demand for registration and many other rulings which aro really good if followed out. It was thought that the problem had been solved and America had been jerked away from rlngsters at a psychological moment. Rvervone I rested upon his ours, thinking, "all Is j well." .

Sunday afternoon Lji Grande en joyed a t'lrst-class baud coucert at the Federal building Bite. Several hun dred people congregated to hear the music, llotween the numbers the aud lence joined in conversation. People met each other and had friendly chats with those who had not met for sev eral weeks, alihough they live within the corporate Minits of the city. Old friendships In this way are enlivened and strauBeis in the city anon become acquainted. One of the things La Grande has been short on Is a meeting place a public meeting place where. nelghbo can meet neighbor. It makes a better feeling, associations broaden every one. It is a leveler that promotes unanimity of purpose and Inculcates a desire to push La Crande the home of our people to the foreground. These concerts should be made per manent as long as the season will permit. Not only ehould there be a Sunday afternoon concert, but at least twice each week everyone should en- Joy hearing a band program. N'ow comes the all-Important fea ture: A band cannot run without proper support. Usually at best the boys gUe their tint at less than half price, and a director Is only fairly paid. But to reach an end that will I In anyway be satisfactory, let some plan be adopted to Insure a m il . . . .
